  • Summary

    The introductory chapter examines an 1892 photograph of a meeting between the then Governor of Belize, Alfred Moloney and a contingent of the rebel Santa Cruz Maya to raise critical questions about the nature of imperialism in frontiers and borderlands. It situates Anglo-Mexican relations within internal and international developments and charts the historical evolution of governance in Belize. It also describes the nature of the border areas between Belize and Mexico as a fluid frontier – geographically, economically and racially – to set the stage for understanding the complex relations among the different groups of people on the border areas as well as colonial officials.
